btw why does Johnson suck so much? I admittedly haven't been able to see a lot of games this season due to only having a laptop to really watch them on(and my internet was out for like a week which was even worse) and haven't really gotten to see many other teams besides the Lakers so I'm legit curious as to why he's playing like ass.

His jumper has been off the whole season thus far, Deron's had some shooting trouble too. Their best player has been Brook Lopez.

Hell, Marshon Brooks isn't even in the rotation, Avery Johnson benched him in favor of Jerry Stackhouse.

JJ? Man he has been horrible. He shoots 3 well but can't make anything else. Still trying to adjust with the team. Deron has been awful to but his playmaking makes up for it somewhat.

The fact that the Nets have 9 wins with Deron and JJ both shooting a combined 39% shows how much Lopez has carried this team as he rightfully so has been the Nets best player so far on pace to have his best season yet.

Brian Shaw was definitely surprised the Lakers didn't hire Phil Jackson after firing Mike Brown this month. Shaw was particularly taken aback that they informed Jackson in a midnight phone call of their choice to hire Mike D'Antoni.

"Under the circumstances, Phil Jackson, who's been there and done that and put a lot of money in everybody's pockets around here, the way it was done . . . it's mind-boggling," Shaw said Monday in an interview with The Times. "I was joking with him, at least you got a phone call, even though it was midnight.
"In 11 years he was coach here, he took the team to the Finals seven times and won five. I don't know if any of the other 29 teams would have done him the way he was done [by the Lakers] after he had done so much for the organization and the city."

Shaw didn't get a phone call from the Lakers after they fired Brown on Nov. 9.

"I'm in a good situation here in Indy, a situation where I have a job," he said. "After how things ended for all of us in L.A. at the end of that last season I was there, there's no reason for me to get my hopes up about anything because if that was the case, something different would have probably been done initially."

Shaw interviewed to replace Jackson after the 2010-11 season. He found out he didn't get the job after seeing media reports of Brown's hiring.
